AARP Helps Veterans Make Informed Health Care Decisions
Veterans Health Administration
Sept. 2, 2022 | 1:00
Six million AARP members once served in the U.S. military. and many of the issues AARP focuses on for people 50 and older intersect with the critical needs of Veterans—two-thirds of whom are over the age of 50. That’s why AARP provides valuable resources to help Veterans make informed decisions in their pursuit of health care, employment, wellness, and other needs that will empower them to live a fulfilling life. AARP focuses on four key areas when it comes to Veterans: family caregiving, fighting fraud, securing employment, and connecting to benefits and discounts. To learn more and download free resources, go to aarp.org/Veterans.
